YES!
Nebo-Sarsekim Tablet is a clay cuneiform inscription (2.13 inches; 5.5 cm) in the collection of the British Museum dated to circa 595 BC, referring to an official at the court of Nebuchadrezzar II, king of Babylon.
Archaeologists unearthed the tablet in the ancient city of Sippar (about a mile from modern Baghdad) in the 1870s. The museum acquired it in 1920, but it had remained in storage unpublished until Michael Jursa (associate professor at the University of Vienna) made the discovery in 2007 with the following translation:
[Regarding] 1.5 minas (0.75 kg) of gold, the property of Nabu-sharrussu-ukin, the chief eunuch, which he sent via Arad-Banitu the eunuch to [the temple] Esangila: Arad-Banitu has delivered [it] to Esangila. In the presence of Bel-usat, son of Alpaya, the royal bodyguard, [and of] Nadin, son of Marduk-zer-ibni. Month XI, day 18, year 10 [of] Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon.
The tablet was part of an archive from a large sun-worship temple at Sippar.
[edit]Bible comparisons

According to Jeremiah (39:3 in the Masoretic Text; 46:3 in the Septuagint), an individual by this same name visited Jerusalem during the Babylonian conquest of it. The verse begins by stating that all the Babylonian officials sat authoritatively in the Middle Gate, then names several of them, and concludes by adding that all the other officials were there as well (implying that the named ones were the most well known).

There have been THOUSANDS of archaeological discoveries from the bible:
The baths and house of David

Caiaphas-the top Pharisee that brought Jesus to trial, they found his tomb!

The walls of Jericho-the were not destroyed but just fell down like it says in the bible. AND the bible said never would there be a city built over it, and there never was!

There's tons more. I have a book that has photo's of many archeology finds from the bible. The oldest is from the city of Ur that was mentioned by Abraham!
Amazing eh?
